Profile Time

Hi,

I got a long job and trying to improve to cut down the run time. I am a bit confused by the reported Profile Time. My input tool read around135 million records and the reported data input Profile Time is 2843302.11ms. But in the log file, the data input last about 4hr25min.

Here are some related log entries:

Finished in 04:39:6.144 with 3 field conversion errors  

 

Anyone knows how the Profile Time was defined?

 

Thank you.

Where do you get the 4h25 information in the log ?

The timeline info is available in the log file when you setup a log folder under "User Settings" from the "Options" menu.

I mean, in the log file, can you show where you found this information ?

The second log entry in my post:

Started running H:\Alteryx\PoC-3\EXIS Workflow - BLUDB-7-OLEDB-DB2COPY2.yxmd at Wed Jul 28 22:51:38 2021

04:25:0.691 - ToolId 2: 134909462 records were read from ......

 

Where 04:25:0.691 is the elapsed time, I believe.

 

Thank you!

Yes it is but I'd rather say it's 4 minutes and 25 seconds. Are there any steps before this entry in your logs ?

Have you the possibility to share the log files ?

Sorry it is not 4 minutes and 25 seconds. I was checking that job periodically and the Designer finished running the workflow in 4:39 hours. The Profile Time for the Input tool is 2843302ms which is around 47 minutes. See attached file for all entries in the log file. Thank you.
